Growing Zucchinis and Squash In Containers Or Pots Is Easy! Although very large plants, Zucchinis, or Summer Squash, actually have quite shallow root systems in relation to their size. They are quite easy and most definitely fun to grow in large pots or containers!
In this video, I’ll show you how I obtain my Zucchini starter plants in the spring and how I then pot them up into 5 gallon pots to grow on my patio or deck.
Zucchinis are a large, summer plant that needs full sun and a quality organic mix to grow properly….but beyond that, they are maximum producers and a modern staple in every backyard garden!

Thank you. I was curious about how they do in containers. Only mistake I made so far is not planting deep enough.
Can you eat courgette leaves
I just got my first zucchini plant, and it's in a fairly small pot- maybe 6×8 inches or so…. It's a tiny one, but will I have to transplant soon? Or can i keep it in there for a bit until it flowers or makes some small fruits? (Sorry I'm new to this and the guy at the garden store just gave me the small plant and pot together for free and told me have a nice time) lol
Do you stake your zucchini in pots
never thought about paper under the pot good idea coz the soil always fall threw, Tha soil looks like coco fiber
Hi, Nice videos, I have noticed that these plants are very vigiorous and big feeders, I live in the south, do you think I can grow these year round? Ty again
Yay container gardening edibles. Thank you.
Don't forget about harvesting the male flowers, dipping them in batter, and frying them up in oil for a tasty summer snack! i fiori di zucca!
Can I put 2 zucchini in one pot
Can I bury my zucchini stem?
Too bad you can't RE grow Zucchinis
Help! My zucchini is in a five gallon pot. It is growing and producing but I didn’t mulch it. It keeps running out of water mid day and we haven’t even gotten to the heat of the summer yet! Is it too late to add mulch?
Excellent video, thank you!!
Thanks for your valuable information
There by are people , even experiace gardeners like myself who do learn from your tutorials and appreciate it them ,very much so .
Sincerely mblausey1@gmail.com
Very good video. Thank you.
What would be the reason my zucchini is coming in slender and smaller? I’m growing in 10 gallon containers?
I use fish emulsion to fertilize every 2 weeks
Great tips!
Hi, I’ve just been given one of these young zucchini plants, is it right you have to self pollenate the plant ? Many thanks.
Can you mulch with newspaper?
So I bought an aerogarden like device on 6/2 my zucchini took off like gangbusters. I had to repot into some dirt as it was becoming too top heavy and would've snapped and died if I left in the hydroponic situation. Its still growing great! About to repot it again as its growing too fast! Will pick up some mulch and a 5 gallon pot tomorrow
Hello, a bountiful thank you for your informative and well-organised channel.
I'm so happy to be planting zucchini/courgettes as the ones from the local market get badly pocked and scarred from the bulk transport and handling!
My plants have put out about 6 healthy leaves so far after growing for 25 days in yoghurt pots (dark green variety) though the leaves are not as big (about 2 inches span) as I've seen in videos. The stem has become a bit leggy and curved but I'm not too worried about that as I know I can bury that part to keep it sturdy when I plant them out.
The thing is , should I plant them out now or can I afford to wait a week or so longer before I transplant to the full-size container? There appear to 4-5 other leaf buds on the plants too.
I have raised beds with drip lines in them so w/your way of laying everything on top of the bed, should I pull my drip lines up before laying the newspaper down, planting & then mulch on top? In the past I always have planted mounds w/about 3-5 seeds in the mound. I'm going to try this way for '22. I just need to know what to do with the drip lines installed. They use to be soaker hose but they kept exploding no matter how much we turned the line down. Thank you in advance for your answer.
I am enjoying fresh zucchini from my garden, butter garlic and smoked paprika. Grow it, such a fun plant.
Hello please any reason why the Zucchini was planted on the side instead of the middle? maybe I can apply my learning
Can I start my seeding of most vegetables in a grow bag instead of starting small and then moving them?
